Area where play begins on a golf hole. Be aware there may be up to 4 tee boxes on a given hole, often with significant displacement from each other, and sometimes approaching the green from different directions. These are usually denoted by colours (most commonly blue, white and red, but may also be green, yellow, black) and names (Championship, Members', Women's). These can be tagged with corresponding keys such as tee=red, tee=championship tags. Also number based tee is defined in the tag tee=<NUMBER>
How to map
Draw an area 
around the ground and tag it with golf=tee.
Or add this tag to the starting point of the path golf=hole.
The colour reference a tee belongs to is often mapped as tee=<COLOUR>, e.g. tee=yellow.
Tee Markers
To be able to attach information for a course which is specific to what tee you are playing from, use a type=golf relation
and tag that with tee=* to be considered a a tee marker relation. You should also put this relation as a member to the course relation to tie these tees to a course. More information at the page of Relation:golf.
Pitching green
These are practice areas, usually surrounded by bunkers, where the short strokes (under 50 meters) are practised.
You can also use golf=tee for tees in this area.
